The Garden District’s original residents had moved from confined spaces in the French Quarter and Faubourg St. Mary (today’s downtown and CBD) onto large expanses of land. Perhaps for that reason, they decorated the space with lush gardens, oak trees, and sub-tropical plants. Flora was also planted to drown the smells coming from the slaughterhouses of the Irish Channel, between the Garden District and the river.
